Lalka

Build Status

Lalka is a ruby implementation of a Task monad (aka Continuation monad) - usefull abstraction for managing parallel and concurrent code.

Usage

Create:

  task = Lalka::Task.new do |t| # block is not executed untill fork or fork_wait is called
    t.resolve(value) # resolve task to a value
    # or
    t.reject(error) # reject task with an error
    # or
    t.try { 100 } # will resolve
    # or
    t.try { raise 'error' } # will reject
  end

Create with predefined state:

  resolved_task = Lalka::Task.resolve(value) # task which resolves to a value
  rejected_task = Lalka::Task.reject(error) # task which rejects to a value
  task = Lalka::Task.try { 100 } # will resolve
  task = Lalka::Task.try { raise 'error' } # will reject

fork:

  # executes computation, fork is nonblocking, returns nil
  task.fork do |t|
    t.on_success do |value|
      # do something with a value
    end

    t.on_error do |error|
      # handle error
    end
  end

fork_wait:

  # executes computation, fork_wait blocks and returns Either from "dry-monads" gem
  task = Lalka::Task.resolve(100)

  result = task.fork_wait

  result # Right(100)
  task = Lalka::Task.reject('error')

  result = task.fork_wait

  result # Left("error")

map:

  task = Lalka::Task.resolve(99).map { |v| v + 1 }.map { |v| v.to_s + "!" }

  result = task.fork_wait
  result # Right("100!")
  task = Lalka::Task.reject('error').map { |v| v + 1 }.map { |v| v.to_s + "!" }

  result = task.fork_wait
  result # Left("error")

bind:

  task = Lalka::Task.resolve(99).bind { |v| Lalka::Task.resolve(v + 1) }

  result = task.fork_wait
  result # Right(100)

ap:

  task = Lalka::Task.resolve(-> (v) { v + 1 }).ap(Lalka::Task.resolve(99))

  result = task.fork_wait
  result # Right(100)
  task1 = Lalka::Task.resolve(99)
  task2 = Lalka::Task.resolve(1)

  result = task1.map { |x| -> (y) { x + y } }.ap(task2).fork_wait
  result # Right(100)

  result = Lalka::Task.resolve(-> (x) { -> (y) { x + y } }).ap(task1).ap(task2).fork_wait
  result # Right(100)

  result = Lalka::Task.resolve(-> (x, y) { x + y }.curry).ap(task1).ap(task2).fork_wait
  result # Right(100)

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'lalka'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install lalka

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install.
